ARCHIPELAGO KAYAKING

4 hours guided kayak tour around Vaxholm

EXPLORE VAXHOLM BY KAYAK

Kayaking is the best way to explore the heart of the Stockholm Archipelago. Paddling around Vaxholm with the 16th century fortress and traditional fishing cottages, will give you the full archipelago experience. Admire beautiful swedish architecture along the way and listen to local stories about the area. On the other side, there is one of Stockholm's largest nature reserves, which was once home to Vikings over 1000 years ago.

We meet in our kayak center on Resarö island. We start with safety briefing and gearing up. In the middle of kayak tour we find the spot for a rest and enjoy a typical Swedish 'fika,' also known as a coffee break. You are also more than welcome to bring a swimsuit for a Baltic dip if you wish.

Our guides choose where to paddle based on their knowledge of archipelago, weather forecast and the sea conditions. Your guide will offer instruction on how to develop your paddling skills. We use single and double sea kayaks (depending on your experience). Doubles are incredibly stable and are great for those who are nervous or if you just want to share the paddling. The tour is available all year around. From October until May we use drysuits. For more please check our winter kayak tour.
